The fiancée of Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, has vowed to fight for justice after his son said the family “forgives” his killers, opening the way for a full pardon.

Salah Khashoggi, the journalist’s son, posted the statement on his Twitter feed this morning, as Muslims prepare to celebrate the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

"In this blessed night of the blessed month we remember God's saying: If a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah.
